When they launched Foodzie, a website connecting thousands of food artisans to customers, Emily Olson, 26, and Rob LaFave, 27, created the world's biggest online food market. The pair hunt down worthy itemsfantastic Parmesan flatbreads from Little Ragghi's Crackers, for instanceand manage the sales transactions, so craftspeople can keep doing what they do best.
